SQL Server (MS SQL) URI format

URI definition for MSSQL follows this standard:

Identifier fragments:

• Namespace: sqlserver://{host}:{port}
  • Scheme = sqlserver
  • Authority = {host}:{port}
• Unique name: {database}.{schema}.{table}

Asset URI format:

• sqlserver://{host}:{port}/{database}.{schema}.{table}

Schema URI format:

• sqlserver://{host}:{port}/{database}.{schema}

Parameters limitations:

• host identifier must start with a lowercase letter and include only lowercase letters, numbers, dash and dot (regex: [a-z][a-z0-9-.]+)
• port identifier must include only numbers
• database, schema and table can have two format, following Microsoft SQL Server naming standards: quoted and unquoted
  • unquoted identifier must start with a character belonging to the unicode category L (letter), _, @ or #. The following characters must belong to the to the unicode category L (letter), unicode category N (number), or be _, @, # or $.
  • quoted identifier needs to be wrapped using brackets [ and ] and must include only characters included in the unicode range U+0001 to U+FFFF. If a right bracket character ] is included inside the name it needs to be doubled. (Ex: my]]name is a valid name if put inside brackets and my]name is not valid)
